An Alabama man was caught multiple times on camera striking a baby and covering the child's nose and mouth, authorities said.
According to authorities William Burch Jr., 27, of Millbrook, with aggravated child abuse and domestic violence through strangulation or suffocation.
In videos taken from May through August at a Montgomery home, Burch appears to hit the months-old baby girl and cover her face with his hand, court documents said.
The arrest affidavit indicates the infant was sent to Children’s Hospital in Birmingham where she was found to have bruising on her face and body, and possibly a brain bleed.
According to the arrest affidavit, three videos showed the 2-month-old victim being stuck with open hands, suffocated and thumped. The videos also showed Burch picking up the child by the head with the mouth and nose covered.
The infant “had been crying and could no longer cry in the video,” the report indicated. Court records show the videos were dated from May and continued through August.
